Good Ideas are hard to come by, that is why there are so many imitations
of the Crinkle Ball out there. CanCor holds the Canadian and American patent for the
Crinkle Ball for cats, the products above are are infringing on our
patents. These products were imported into Canada and the United
States by various companies.
The Original Crinkle Ball will not fall apart! All cheap
imitations that were imported into the U.S.A. and Canada do
fall apart with only a slight tug. The companies that are selling the
toys above are infringing on our Canadian and American Patents.
We must protect our intellectual property rights, with your
help we could do it. If someone has offered or sold you one of
the imitation cat toys above we would love to hear from you.
Thank you for supporting North American Manufacturers.
The word "infringement" means an
encroachment upon the domain belonging to a patentee that is described
by the claims of her/his patent.
Infringement can be direct, indirect,
or contributory. Anyone who makes, uses, or sells the patented
invention is a direct infringer. If a person actively encourages another
to make, use, or sell the invention, the person so inducing is liable
for indirect infringement. Contributory infringement can be committed by
knowingly selling or supplying an item for which the only use is in
connection with a patented invention. Good faith or ignorance is no
defense for direct infringement, but it can be for indirect or
contributory infringement.
The remedies for infringement consist
of:
- Injunctive relief,
- damages (including treble damages
for willful infringement),
- attorneys' fees in some cases,
and
- court costs.
